Scientific paper

Supergiant shells with diameters approaching 1000 pc may break through the gaseous disk of their host galaxy, and transfer energy and mass into the galactic halo. The Large Magellanic Cloud contains several supergiant shells, among which LMC2 has the most spectacular filamentary shell structure and the brightest diffuse X-ray emission. The X-ray emission exists within the optical shell boundary and extends beyond the southern shell rim. We propose to use the XMM-Newton EPIC cameras to map LMC2 and its southern extension in order to study the physical structure of LMC2 and the role it plays in the global structure of the interstellar medium. This program was awarded time in AO1, but ~60% of the observations were corrupted by high background. We request make-up time to complete our program.
